**public benefit in relation to**
**these objects (include within**
**this section the statutory**
**declaration that trustees**
**have had regard to the**
**guidance issued by the**
**Charity Commission on**
**public benefit)**|(1)
To advance the religion of Islam, by means of, but not exclusively,
promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, provision of facilities
for worship and provision of facilities for Islamic education, in
accordance with the teachings of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah of the
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) as defined and
interpreted by the Hanafi Deobandi School of Thought (“Doctrine”);
(2)
To relieve financial hardship among the poor, the underprivileged,
victims of natural and man-made disasters and people in need, by
means of, but not exclusively, making grants or loans for providing
or paying for items, equipment, treatment, services and facilities for
the benefit of the said persons.| |---|---| ||The Charity’s Trustees had predominantly focused on the Masjid or
Mosque over the past few years, particularly the finances and
accounts. In the previous reporting period, having become debt free
following repayment of the outstanding £32,000 loans, the Trustees
begun internal refurbishment of the premises at 77 Dale Street,
Chatham, Kent ME4 6QG, which serves as the place of worship.
In this current reporting period, additional fundraising also began for
proposed works for the refurbishment of the toilet and washing
facilities at the Charity, which were last renovated almost 20 years
ago, to bring them up to modern standards and to accommodate the
needs of the current community, including worshippers, attendees
and the children that attend for Islamic and Arabic classes. This
includes plans to install additional high-rise commodes to replace
the existing squat commode in the cubicles for the convenience of
all, including potentially disabled persons attending the venue.
Whilst saving funds for this proposed new Wudu Project, with an
estimated budget of £50,000, covering both the communal facilities
downstairs as well as refurbishment of female only facilities
upstairs, the Trustees also took the opportunity to instruct
construction of off-road parking facilities creating a space for 4
additional cars in front of the next-door property owned by the
Charity at 79 Dale Street, Chatham, Kent ME4 6QG. This cost the
driveway project was £7,320 in total. This was completed to create
additional off-road parking facilities for regular worshippers to
reduce nuisance, disturbance or inconvenience to the neighbours
from cars entering and leaving the vicinity of the Charity. This is in
anticipation of the next-door property eventually becoming an
extension and overflow to our current place of worship as our
community grows. Indeed, we have seen an influx of the Muslim
population as a result of internal migration from other parts of the
UK to our local area as well as some international immigrants since
after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect the local
Muslim population to continue to grow even if simply from the
evolution and expansion of the existing families who have arrived
recently. We expect this to result in increased demand for the
Charity’s after school Islamic and Arabic class services over the
foreseeable years to come.
With regards to Children’s Islamic and Arabic class services after
school, the Trustees took action to appoint a locally qualified and
experienced school teacher as the Charity’s Designated Child| **TAR** March **2012** 3 Safeguarding Officer (DCSO). This appointment is the start of a programme of works to enhance and improve children’s services at the Charity, including the quality of education as well an ensuring adequate safeguarding arrangements are in place at the Charity. The trustees have had due regard to the guidance of the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that they are acting in accordance with that guidance and are making a real difference for the benefit of the public. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance The Charity’s Trustees had predominantly focused on the Masjid or Mosque over the past few years, particularly the finances and accounts.
